i wonder how those "sintered", or "multicrystalline and slightly porous" blade assemblies will hold up with centrifugal forces when some heat is thrown at them... inconel is all good and well, but arent we also taught about the "advanced technology" where certain turbine blades are "grown" as one "crystal" with no grain interfaces? then theres the whole design aspect of high speed shafts, and rotating assemblies... lessons well documented by say, gustav delaval and charles parsons well over a century ago... human race is getting stupider. the more i look at this "hi tech", the more i start to ask... "whats it all for? whats the end goal here, of civilisation?" and the older i get, the more i tend to want to throw it all away and just watch the grass grow and smell the flowers... as for these types of videos... talk about dumbing it down... can open a book from a century ago and learn something, easily and clearly explained... these days, everythings either primary school level, whilst ignoring vital aspects that merely cause confusion and misconceptions, or its university level with equations, equations, theory, and little to no practical application... and a lot of hard work to undo all those previously mis-learnt principles.

@@danamyrocket I understand that. It was clearly not done here. The design relies on a fluid bearing created by fuel in the spinning shaft / housing "bearing" zones. This bearing breaks down as the shaft slows down. At startup, there is no bearing at all, until revs are high enough for a hydrodynamic bearing to form between surfaces. The design may be made such that a break-in period is required to ensure proper mating of surfaces to best support later functionality. Kind of like a Babbit bearing. First uses will be in drones, likely as these appear to be of limited planned lifespan. There is no opportunity to repair either, unless they are made of a few more components. All of this said, you might be able to create from four parts, shaft, "housing" in three parts. With some easy light machining to surfaces, more durable bearings could be placed, thereby making the shaft and bearings, serviceable. This would also afford the opportunity to balance the shaft. As printed, it will definitely not be of precision balance, without fairly extensive machining.

This is indeed quite amazing. However, I would like to caution the Israeli maestros of this work to beware of being too academic in their approach, if indeed their goal is commercialization. For example, there appears to have been a considerable effort spent on the bearings, and at the end I think I understood the bearing is still deficient. And this is completely understandable, since bearings are a very special technology in and of themselves. With that in mind I’d like to suggest not to look at this as a one print does everything solution. That is really being disingenuous to the other advanced technologies that have to come together to make an engine work. I’m not saying stop working on a two parts one print technology. However, if you want to actually DO something with this today, don’t try to solve ALL the world’s problems in one go. Instead, be prepared to split it up where it makes sense. For example, I don’t think you will be able to get an acceptable bearing in the near future. But I don’t think you have to. Use 3D printing where it is natural to do so,and don’t where it doesn’t. It makes sense where that rats nest maze of burn chambers and mixing labyrinth are. It does not make sense for bearings. It is no sin to break you print into a couple of easy to assemble pieces. I saw a number of ways the prints could be split to allow access for conventional bearing milling and installation. The shaft could be made a 2 piece design for easier assembly if desired. Your 3D parts have addressed the hard parts. Don’t make it harder by not exploiting the ability to also divide the single part into a few assemblable parts with a high benefit.

Hey I'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about, but I think a turbo jet engine, is a bit different from a gas turbine? Same principle and all, just like a turbo charger is.. But to my limited knowledge, a turbo jet engine isn't exactly good on fuel, so I don't know what the BTU conversion units would be like (or however you want to measure efficiency) Would have to be a better way? Unless fuel usage, is not a consideration.. Seeing as they are calling them the Israeli MIT, I doubt civilian use cases are high on the list of their priorities. But, I honestly, do not really know what I'm talking about and happy to say, that I was wrong 👍

Very impressive beginning. One of the greatest issues with gas turbines is dealing with rotating high temperature components. Currently, this is addressed with some very advanced materials. It will be interesting to see how 3D printed materials can deal with this. Current aircraft engines require inspection and maintenance. Components are removed, inspected, reworked or discarded when required. Some rework could be completed in the 3D printed design, but it is limited. For short term applications, such as weapon systems, these issues are not as significant. I hope this technology is also used for some non destructive things.

Combine as many of the components as you can that provide fuel flow, cooling, combustion and exhaust, with the most critical combining principle being location & temperature such that the cold fuel flow can cool only in the right places, the warmed fuel flow can then combust in only the right place, and the exhaust only moves in one direction, directed by the cooled exhaust manifold. *AMAZING ENGINEERING*

Concept only. This thing would not run. Turbines spin very fast. It has to be perfectly balanced. Printed as an assembly, there is no way to put in bearings. Ceramic bearings are required at this size engine. The turbine wheel is a very poor design. The entire thing would have to be printed in Inconel 625 and heat treated before it could withstand the heat. So many things that would have to change. Still, cool concept and maybe someday something like this will happen. I pri Ted a turbine in 2013 that runs. The average viewer will think this is much closer to reality than it actually is.

But in this rendition there isn't a contact ring that can prevent journal or blade/vane contact. But there is a British Helo upstart that is building everything in house. Composite fuse, rotors, and skids, to in house machining, and 3DP turbine parts in house. He's suggesting 500K pounds UK, for a Turbine powered 4 seater. Looks fantastic.

Very interresting desin. Nevertheless the Hachile Heel of this engine is the fluid bearing. I'm sure this one if it ever runs by itself, must require a very high fluid pressure to maintain the bearing. I can see they want to build very simple drones. Another issue in a drone is stong lateral accelerations, inducing brutal movments of the floating rotor. I would rather add two ball bearings at the end of the print, keep 4 or 6 pieces, and create a very strong and reliable engine. (because anyway you need a fuel pump, electronic control and so on...

This is a very interesting concept; but it’s an engine that will have a very narrow thrust range. There’s no air management systems on this; no guide vanes or bleed air controllers. This engine will have the same problem as the jet engines of the 1940s. This is a one way engine; so if you’re powering a missile then great. But if you want to land the airplane this would be attached to you’re going to have a problem. Even an industrial turbine needs to have modulating power output in 99% of applications.

Printed pre-assembled Soooooo There's no great way to balance the turbine assembly that needs to turn 10's of thousands of RPMs? All printed from the Same Alloy (likely high nickel content or exotics like Ti, HastX or Inco) .007" gap would be big even for the Crank-Rod interface in a reciprocating engine. During spool up, pre ignition, fuel pressure will be lowest so bearing is in most compromised state, probably would friction weld the rotating assy to the housing before it bulges from the over fueled hot start. *WhooooooOOOOOOsh BRICK*

Also you have to add fuel so there’s probably a fuel pump and some tubing to deliver the fuel to some kind of injector. Don’t forget the clamps and the mounts and all the pieces that attach all of this together. Wait… There’s more! And there’s way more than two pieces. You can’t reduce a jet turbine down to just two pieces no matter how you spin it!

it'll never run. if they do get it to run, I bet it won't look anything like this when they do. They're severely compromising the design to be able to print it with minimum parts and there's really no need to keep the parts count that low.

Assuming bearing problem somehow got solved, I would think that turbine + compressor assembly is not balanced enough for the RPM ranges this engine needs. What about heat treatment? I doubt that geometry that complicated could be heat treated as a single piece.

This all sounds very gimmicky. The rough surface of the blades is going to create a lot of turbulence. Single stage radial compressor will always be inferior to axial setup. Not that this can't be changed, but at this stage this proves nothing.

Found this video extremely dry and boring… it's a shame they could not appeared to speaking with actual testing functions it's actually printed to do. Yes, it was 3-D printed, but beyond that I didn't really get anything intellectual video and I did turn it off at 12 minutes.

So let us ponder some key elements of a video with real content:- Does the concept work? In this case it's a dressed up joke, 200 microns bearing clearance, or 0.2mm plus crap surface finish, plus same materials. You don't need to go to MIT to know that can't work. Is the concept new? Well printing two components together with a clearance is certainly not a new idea. Is the concept commercially viable? Not a chance, the 15K $ quoted is the mf cost with no fuel/ignition/electronics etc. The 50K present cost has already been questioned, mf companies on average need to at least double or triple material costs to cover overheads & make profit. So I'm sure these guys are really clever, but possibly misguided/delusional? As for the channel, great engaging title, well presented, but little more than clickbait.

"bearing journal" 😂 Where's the lube system for these "bearings"? That's a complex LAMP'd structure with a terribly inefficient gas path design and there is no way that things could function without more pieces and extensive machining. Even then, performance would be dismal if it even stayed running. I have doubts about that turbine design being structurally sufficient for use. There are actual small jets that are almost completely LAMP'ed systems, with only bearings being added and some machining of the bearing pilots. The perform poorly and have reliability issues

There's no way they could just 3d print a normal (RC turbine-type) shell with the combustion chamber, outside surfaces, etc and stick in a machined compressor, main shaft, and turbine with some bearings? seems like it'd be a more reasonable approach.

Two parts 😂 don't forget you might need a starter, a fuel pump some sort of fuel control, injectors, ignitors😂 , oil system maybe a oil filter to get the all that dust out, this is obviously a company that has no idea how a turbine engine even works 😂 o yes might want to know what the engine speed is. Three D printed bearings 😂, go back to engineering school 😂

No bearings? No valves, nozzles, no maintenance ports?? How do you Borescope inspect this? I don’t believe I will ever see this in production aviation ever. A cool sci-fi concept and some of the ideas there can be developed but it should not be presented as a practical solution.

An interesting academic exercise, but only that, turbochargers used one piece cast fans 35 years ago, the materials are superalloys don't think they'll be able to print many of those

This is am interesting project but totally useless in the real world. It will need machined bearings that are preferably replaceable. Otherwise it's a one and done motor that is not rebuildable. Simple does not always equate to better.

Why not be a little bit more precise what I'm saying is put a little bit more attention to the beauty of it being very smooth unless attention to putting your emblems embedded in the sides of the rotor fluid dynamics aren't doing their job if they're letting you put their emblems all over the outside of the rotor

Выглядит интересно, но как этот двигатель может стартовать? Газодинамический подшипник это интересно, но плохо работает на старте. Идеально вырастить такую массивную вращающуюся деталь внутри... А как это можно отбалансировать? Камера сгорания занимает очень большой объем и содержит очень много препятствий для газовых потоков в виде литейных поддержек - это очень важно - чем выше скорость истечения газов из камеры сгорания, тем лучше работает двигатель. Здесь это невозможно. Ещё важный момент - качество поверхностей - все детали ГТД должны быть гладкими, а лучше полированными. Это скорее пневматический тормоз, чем газотурбинный двигатель 😊
